Method and system for allowing access to traditional voice mail and interactive voice response systems over internet-like networks

摘要

A method and system for accessing a remote system via a computer connected to a packet data network, comprises a Packet Data Network Gateway (PDNG) is connected to the packet data network. The PDNG receives a signal representing a DTMF tone transmitted from the computer, generates the DTMF tone at corresponding to the received signal, and transmits the generated DTMF tone to the remote system. The PDNG receives a response from the remote system and creates at least one voice packet for transmission to the computer over the packet data network. The remote system may be a voice messaging system or an interactive voice response (IVR) system.
